Las Vegas >> The Chico State softball team won all five of its games at the Desert Stinger Classic for the second year in a row. This time, the Wildcats even brought home a few things back with them — awards.

The Wildcats were named the Desert Stinger champions on Sunday after routing Concordia, Oregon, 13-2 in five innings at the Majestic Park complex.

The Wildcats were one of three undefeated teams among the field of 28, and posted the best overall tournament run differential at plus-30 over their five games to claim the crown.

Chico State is the ninth different team to take top honors at the tournament.

Shortstop Wendy Cardinali was named the most valuable player, batting .500 over the five games with five extra-base hits, eight runs scored and seven RBIs while posting a 1.214 slugging percentage and .611 on-base percentage.

Cardinali and pitcher Haley Gilham were named to the all-tournament team.

Chico State had 12 hits Sunday and took advantage of four Concordia errors.

Kristin Worley and Reilani Peleti had two hits apiece with Peleti providing a three-run homer as part of a six-run third inning for a 10-2 advantage.

Ari Marsh and Sara Mitrano both had two RBIs.

Gilham started and got the win, giving her 59 for her Chico State career, tying her with Katie Stokx for the most victories in the program’s 50-year history.

Naomi Monahan took over for Gilham and allowed one hit in 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for her first save.

Chico State jumps right into California Collegiate Athletic Association play next week. The Wildcats are at Cal State San Bernardino, which went 5-0 at the Vegas tourney. The Wildcats and Coyotes begin the four-game series with a doubleheader at noon on Friday with a Saturday twin bill at 11 a.m.
